Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound?

I got two 18 inch Scaena sealed subwoofer(120lb each , Kevlar/Carbon composite cones) last Friday.

But delivery man dropped the package in my garage.
My neighbor helped me to move 120 lb subwoofers to my third floor listening room on Sunday.


It is fun with subass rumble to real 16hz in the background.

The subwoofers work with my Lansche 4.1 speaker like magic with clean and deep bass and enormous dynamics and wider deeper soundstage.

My listening room used to be tidy about 18 months ago

But now it is a mess with several isolation transformers and cable for Sr1a headphone.

Even with such mess, I enjoy the sound of my 2 channel system and Sr1a, Stax 009s headphones.

How about other audiophiles?

Do you prefer tidy room to messy room with better sound?

your room needs to put you in your comfort zone so you can reach the ’zen’ music state where the music gets into you.

there are no rules beyond that.

i’m a neat nick personally, and need everything in it’s place. don't like stuff just lying around. so that’s how i roll. you can see my room pictures and know how i am. but i have seen cluttered listening spaces where i know that listener is also in his comfort zone.

know thyself.....and enjoy.

Cluttered listening room cluttered mind.

minimalistic is the way to go. Neat organized and great sounding!

Quick interrupt! It’s also a question of entropy. The lower the entropy the better the sound. Entropy is inversely related to accumulated junk, especially media and the written word. It’s a mind-matter interaction thing. 

If space and matter suddenly disappeared there would be no time.

@robt22 the best sound quality I had at my previous house was when there were many moving boxes stacked behind my listening position.Small boxes and packing materials stuffed inside large boxes.They made excellent room treatments.
